About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of false accusations and the psychological dynamics behind them.
Some people accuse just to keep you busy defending yourself. Some do it because, perhaps, they like to see you suffer? That can't be true... can it? If you're constantly accused for things you didn't do, you might be a mirror more than a target.
